Have you been following an ayurvedic routine or had an assessment done with us in the past and are wondering about how to adapt to the upcoming season? Maybe you've had a change in lifestyle or lifestage and things feel different to how they used to. If this sounds familiar you may just require a quick re-assessment and new plan to get things on track.

We've heard from many clients that they want to know more about changing things up across the year and feel a bit confused. So we've got a new offering for any of our existing clients that have had an assessment and bespoke plan created. You are welcome to a plan refresh at the change of the season.

Join us on the morning of Saturday July 21 as we delve into an invigorating yoga class, and then share some ayurvedic refreshments and settle in with a spicy chai to talk about building immunity not just for protection from illness but also improving how you look and feel.

We are now offering Sunset Yoga classes at our Rooftop Shala every Tuesday and Thursday evening, 6pm - 7.15pm. Open to beginners and lower-intermediate level upward with a Hatha Vinyasa focus on stretching, strengthening and grounding.

The focus for next week will be the mid and lower back, hips, hamstrings and the classic surya namaskar (sun salute) practice

The day’s class will be themed according to the Ayurvedic daily rhythms, and can be beneficial in managing sleep, mood and tension within the body and mind. Each week, we will also deepen our practice of breath work and meditation, with continuous practice leading to significant shifts in wellbeing.

Winter is a cold, heavy, wet and windy time of year that naturally increases the water or ‘kapha’ element within us. This leads to ailments such as colds, heavy and blocked heads and noses, phlegm, mucus and fatigue. It is naturally a time to withdraw, reserve energy, stay cosy and toasty warm.

To prepare for it, keep illness at bay and feel your best, Ayurveda recommends a cleanse in between seasons (ritu sandi) followed by a change in diet, routines, and specific yoga and breathing techniques.

A traditional practice that is challenging and balancing all at the same time. Systematically develop your strength, flexibility, fitness, balance, concentration and build mental fortitude. With a regular practice you will experience the far reaching effect on all bodily functions, including better digestion, stronger immune system, balanced nervous system and equilibrium in the mind and emotions.

Leave your city life behind and rejuvenate on our long weekend yoga immersion retreat! This is a convenient way to recharge your batteries, soak up some pristine natural countryside, practice your yoga, eat nourishing vegetarian meals and enjoy the company of new friends.

Learn how to respond to these changes using ayurvedic dietary and lifestyle guidance. Join us and settle in with a relaxing chai and refreshments, to explore:- An introduction to Ayurveda and its core principles- How to cleanse in between seasons- How to prepare for Autumn- Discuss sample meal plans

Here in Melbourne, the Summer season is a time of intense heat and dryness with bouts of cold and rain that increase as we approach Autumn.

Learn how to live in unison with this time of year rather than fight it. Adjusting your lifestyle, habits, food and drink, exercise, yoga and breathing can bring about major shifts to well being.
